Legal Bites, Navigating Foodservice and Hospitality Law in Canada

In this episode of Legal Bites, Adam Vassos talks to two highly respected foodservice leaders about the current conditions of the industry and the impact the government has on it. Adam also discusses the inadequate support of the Ontario Government and what they need to do to support the challenging industry.The foodservice industry is one of the largest and most important industries in Ontario. It employs over 500,000 people and generates over $30 billion in economic activity each year. However, the industry is facing a number of challenges, including rising costs, labor shortages, and the impact of taxes. The Ontario Government has not done enough to support the foodservice industry. In fact, the government has implemented a number of policies that have made it more difficult for businesses to operate. For example, the government has increased the minimum wage, which has made it more expensive for businesses to hire employees. The government has also increased the cost of doing business by increasing taxes and fees.The inadequate support of the Ontario Government is having a negative impact on the foodservice industry. Businesses are struggling to stay afloat and many are being forced to close their doors. This is having a devastating impact on the economy and on the workers who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.The Ontario Government needs to do more to support the foodservice industry. They need to reduce the cost of doing business and they need to provide more assistance to businesses that are struggling. The government also needs to work with the industry to develop policies that will help it to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.You can listen to the full episode of Legal Bites on all podcast networks worldwide.
